Major features in the Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park
include archaeological remains of ancient sites such as
Muang Chakangrao to the east of the Ping River, Muang Nakhon
Chum to the west and Muang Trai Trung some 18 kilometres
from the town to the southwest. Services from the Tourist
Centre are available, the center itself being located some
5 kilometres from town on the Kamphaeng Phet-Phran Kratai
route.
Chakangrao, the ancient Kamphaeng Phet town, had the same
town planning concept as the old Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai,
with separate zones for religious sites both within and
outside of town limits. Structures are usually large and
made of laterite. Religious sites on the west bank of the
Ping River at Nakhon Chum are built of bricks and of smaller
size
